Pulte Homes Reviews

Best builder in the area over the other 2 we’ve had in the past with homes built here. Just had issues with 3 of their vendors - in terms of quality of materials used in one instance and our experiencing equipment failures in the other two occurrences we had. However these all were readily rectified by Pulte when service was requested each time so Pulte was very responsive!

The Sales Rep and Builder were great. Professional and knowledgeable about the house and the community. Notified us throughout the entire building process. Took care of things if they didn’t like what they saw on behalf of us. Generally really nice people.

The design of the Gateway I with the option upgrade 4th bedroom is very good and practical. The overall craftsmanship is satisfactory BUT the concerns are relating to quality control. If one had carefully & thoroughly seen the finish in the areas we picked up, they would have been dealt with prior to taking delivery and closing. The Major and Moderate defects have been attended to and well-coordinated by the care manager. Some of these could have been picked up and attended by a closer inspection for quality control. There are some matters that will be attended to at the first year’s anniversary relating to: • Quartz countertops seem in the kitchen to be eliminated • Uneven paint application (white patch) near the vent area in the owner’s/primary bathroom • Some LVP flooring in the living room joins, are uneven and/or heavily scratched. These have been warped and will need replacing • Damage to the dry wall entrance from main bedroom to bathroom. Slight chipping was probably made when installing sink units or bath • Molding underneath the two windows have black smudge paint marks on the white painting • Kitchen ceiling near side window needs to be attended to make smooth and even This being the reason for Quality of workmanship & material that follows through to Overall Homebuying Experience being 4 out of 5, and the rest 5 out of 5. So, scoring over 90% totaling the 5 categories is an A+ grade which is excellent. Note that it is impossible to score 100% 5 out of 5 and there are always going to be items that will show up within a couple of months of living in the house. Does not necessarily need to be perfect but it must be right! No blame is made to any individual or specific department as we are all human so, the takeaway from this being, there could be room to step up in quality control area prior to preclosing and/or handover. Therefore, take this as a learning opportunity in the interest of progress. The positive overriding factors being one would be hard pressed to find a new single story dwelling Gateway I design with the options and upgrades of this caliber for the price point in 2025 and going forward located adjacent to an affluent area. Please note: The HOA management company do not read properly homeowners’ responses and the content of their replies as well as approach leaves a lot to be desired. A few messages were sent to them underscoring concerns. Very unprofessional. They showed lack of understanding and addressing issues as well as their language and tone are substandard. Implied disparate treatment as well as discrimination against WA State and Federal Fair Housing Act laws that were close to being reporting to WA State regulators. It was very unprofessional that resulted in soured relationship with us and as well as other homeowners. Recommendation that Nova should be replaced to restore goodwill between the HOA and homeowners. ... More

After closing warranty service is poor. I shouldn't have to work this hard to get my issues addressed.

Alex at Solis Grande was great to work with.. very responsive!!

Still items remains not repaired timely.

The overall process was great with the rep that showeed me the home (he was with me through the entire process. His name is Brandon), the building manager was amazing, the closing lasy was an absolute gem, the inspector was thorough, straightforward, and honest, and the property itself is very nice. My biggest issue and the main thing that was the closing rep. She was a nightmare!!! I almost pulled out of the deal all together becuase of her incompetence, lack of professionalism, and nonchalant attitude with the problems she was causing. The day of closing, she was calling me to request documents that has been uploaded weeks ago, documents that she knew were needed but didnt bother to request, and I had to contact her supervisors twice and Brandon volunteered to reach out to a few people. Her performance was absolutely horrible!!! Also, the realtors worked with, recommended by the young man that showed the property, stayed with me until after closing (Brandon), were amazing and I highly recommend they also (Monarch Real Estate and Ranch). ...

Good experience and nice product.

I overall recommended Pulte Home. The price and option they included are good for the price. Although workmanship can be improved. Vinyl floor is uneven and the wall is not flat.

Let me start by saying that Ben our construction manager, addressed every concern we had upfront immediately and kept us up to date weekly, to the status of the build. He is a true assets and I think made a big difference on our build. I will say that Pulte really needs to address some drywall and paint quality issues, such as very visible drywall mud seams, drywall tape behind the paint peeling off, sloppiness of the applied paint, and the quality of the paint(even when paying for the paint upgrade). If I pay for the paint upgrade, I expect the paint to be better quality than say buying a can of basic flat paint, at a big box store. Pulte is a huge national company, they should use very high quality paint, especially when paying for the paint upgrades. It’s a huge miss there in my opinion. We moved in a little over a month ago and besides the issue with the paint, which I feel some of these can be resolved within our warranty period, we haven’t really noticed any other issues. We are very happy with the quality of a lot of the finishes throughout. Pulte is also very good at cleaning their construction sites every night as there’s no debris left thrown about and street sweeper comes daily. The only extremely disappointing issue we had during the whole build is Pulte mortgage and the “promise” of an incentive for just initially talking to them. They seem to be shady at best. We chose another lender upfront but they kept communicating with us and even ordered an appraisal on our property like we had a loan there. Took multiple communications and months to get them to close a loan we never had with them in the first place. With all that said, overall we are happy and our condo is beautiful. ... More

The move in process and closing process was very smooth and problem free. Our superintendent Joe was helpful. The build quality isn’t the greatest, but it’s still above average. Better than any other builder we looked at for this same price range. Location is great too! After move in, we have had a few minor setbacks. The glass wall in the shower does not seal properly and lets water thru. Also, the concrete pad on the back patio is already cracking, and the house is brand new. These are minor issues which will hopefully be covered by the warranty. Only time will tell. 4/5 stars.

Definitely some dumps in the process and overpriced options but happy with my home. Pulte did work with me on my concerns which earned them an extra star.

Overall great experience with pulte team .

Beautiful home. However, there were several items that were somewhat unfinished and or rushed. Several painting issues on the exterior and balcony.

Lee, the construction manager was great. He has been very responsive to our needs. However, dealing with PulteMortgage was less than ideal. I have an 850 credit score, but they were very nick picky before finally approving my eligibility for a mortgage.

This community's HOA is absolutely horrible in response time for architectural submittals. 45 days and beyond is unacceptable as most vendor quotes are good from 15 to 30 days! As a former HOA president and one who reviewed arbs in a community of 280 homes (and this is a NEW Developoment with no where near that amount yet) my turn around was 48 HOURS! Something needs to be done to get a grip on this timeframe!! UNACCEPTABLE!

For the most part it was a great experience, building here with Pulte. Everyone was great EXECPT dealing with Pulte mortgage.. They are the worst and ruined my home buying and build Looking back I would NEVER use them!!! .. Up until the day before they kept asking for the same things 3 and 4 times when they had it.. Had me running around during the whole process and again up until 2 days before the closing.. I was injured and disabled in the line of duty so it wasn't easy,( Not sayin boo-hoo for me ) I told them you have everything yet.. then threatened me a few times with.. if you don't resend this or that paperwork you will not close!!! The pressure was disgraceful AND UNNECESARY !!!.. Not happy at all with Pulte mortgage and they ways they worked, This is how you treat the disabled?!?!. ... More

Nicely build home in timely manner

Purchasing a house with Pulte was very pleasant. The staff was very kind and helpful with the entire process. All issues and or concerns were addressed appropriately in a timely manner.

Construction manager (initials: DS) was great. Pulte mortgage was more painful and more difficult than other mortgage companies we bought through

Too limiting on what we could do during construction. Choices were not all first class. We looked at the cost associated with several changes and decided to do that after we moved in. I wish we had been able to order appliances other than the signature brand (i.e.Wolf)

Great customer service, very knowledgeable

The overall process with the sales agent, construction manager and financing was very good. The fit and finish was average. We are very particular about fit and finish so we maybe overcritical but with the cost of the home we would expect a higher quality. We would still recommend Pulte.

Overall this experience was easier than the last. This build was smoother and communication was present. Project. Managers were great. Some of the workmanship had to be performed twice like driveway garage entrance and some framing. This part that can be greatly improved is the start. The sales person could of been more upfront with alot of things. Had to pry for info and options. Should not be this way.

Overall, our was good. There were issues but none that couldn't be addressed and resolved.
